The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

Solar fuel production often starts with the energy from light being absorbed by an assembly
of molecules; this electronic excitation is subsequently transferred to a suitable acceptor. For …

Quantum coherence is an essential ingredient in quantum information processing and plays
a central role in emergent fields such as nanoscale thermodynamics and quantum biology …

The design of optimal light-harvesting (supra) molecular systems and materials is one of the
most challenging frontiers of science. Theoretical methods and computational models play a …

We have extended a conventional photosynthesis model to simulate field and laboratory
measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence at the leaf scale. The fluorescence …

Ultrafast energy transfer is used to transmit electronic excitation among the many molecules
in photosynthetic antenna complexes. Recent experiments and theories have highlighted …

Quantum control is concerned with active manipulation of physical and chemical processes
on the atomic and molecular scale. This work presents a perspective of progress in the field …

Photosynthetic antenna complexes capture and concentrate solar radiation by transferring
the excitation to the reaction center that stores energy from the photon in chemical bonds …

We analyze under which dynamical conditions the coherence of an open quantum system is
totally unaffected by noise. For a single qubit, specific measures of coherence are found to …

The observation of long-lived electronic coherence in a photosynthetic pigment–protein
complex, the Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) complex, is suggestive that quantum …
